l l We have a tendency to glorify the past. Our natural fears of the unknown future are allayed, if we look backward with nostalgia to what seems like a more secure and happy time. The past, we think, is done',, except for the affect it has on the present and future. To view the past as a better time is foolish. True, there is much to be gained and to emulate from the study of how early people met crises, faced the threat of starvation, struggled to survive politically, economically and physically, but to enshrine the past is to break the human experience into artificial segments. History is a con- tinuous stream. Like floating on a river, we must stop for a glance to see how far we have come and where we are going. However, to indulge ourselves in the weakness of longing for what is no longer present is to let the current of life take us where it will. Early Americans could not afford to wallow in the self-pity of crying that they had nothing to do with the situation they inherited. The weak- ling justifies his inactivity by ration- alization. We like our political an- cestors, must be up and doing. lfzfr -- ,4 Kuggcd fruggle for umm!

Right: John Hugh McNaughton was a noted musicologist and author. Opposite page: The front brim of Seth Green's hat tilts upward as if not even a piece of felt were allowed to obscure the vision of his mind's eye. Seth Green was as solid in his purpose as the granite on which rests the bronze that memorializes him. Bottom: On the edge of an open glade, amid sun-dappled leaves, two children sit unafraid. They are inheritors of what earlier residents established. In our land, already, fear encrouches. Below: Red Jacket-a truly na- tive American who supported the United States in the War of 1812, but who fought to main- tain Indian religion and customs among his own people. He was an eloquent stateman and a brilliant organizer. .5 a'ua ,W -www-'
